1967 Cadillac DeVille Convertible
One owner, low miles (52,000) , National award winner

It is not very often when you can buy a quality vehicle that has remained with one owner/ family for 47 years and has a documented full history. This is just that vehicle.

This spectacular car has been treated like a family member since it was purchased back in 1967.  We hate to finally part with it, but garage space will soon be gone and my grandson has no interest in cars. What a shame!  This is a fantastic car for the lover of Cadillacs, convertibles and quality restoration work that has kept it close to original as possible. This is truly a beautiful example of a very low mileage 1967 Cadillac DeVille convertible.  This car has been photographed for books, won awards at National Cadillac Meets and been pictured in major auto magazines. It has never been smoked in. This car has been in the National Cadillac-LaSalle Club since 1985 and carefully follows the authenticity manuals.

I have supplied numerous pictures of the car and many more are available for serious buyers, upon request . They will show it as it is today as well as some pictures of its history and prior work that was done on it. Just ask and I will send them. I welcome questions about its past and condition. It is not absolutely "perfect", but just about everything has been taken care of and it shows beautifully. These cars always need something...even if only to make it slightly nicer and satisfy your pride.  That's what having a classic is all about!  You would never recoup the amount of money spent over the years.

A little bit of the car's history: 

1.July 1967: Purchased from Mel Gooch Cadillac in Utica, New York and immediately driven to Washington, DC where it spends the next 11 years (1967-1978) garaged at a DC Embassy house and home of the Executive Director of the Sons of the American Revolution.  It was used occasionally, since the Embassy supplied a car. I have a picture of the car in front of Embassy in 1967.
2.1978-1988: Car was re-located to Houston, Texas when my father-in-law retired. Again the car was only used when Sunday drives were desired and the weather was right. He had an air conditioned garage to combat the humid Houston summers. He preferred his Toyota truck to do daily work related things. He didn't want to get the Caddy dirty!
3.1988: My father-in-law passed away and I took ownership of the vehicle and drove it to Philadelphia where I lived at the time. I joined the Cadillac-LaSalle Club and have been a member ever since. Great organization. Mileage at the time was about 24,000.
4.1988-89: A major cosmetic restoration was done that took about 5 months. It included a professional factory, quality re-paint in the original white color, re-chroming of some items, and other cosmetic upgrades. Mechanically it was perfect. The car was disassembled to make sure there was no rust inside fenders , doors, trunk, etc.  I have pictures of the work available. Numerous car shows followed, where it won many trophies in local events.
5.1989: The first time I displayed the car at a Cadillac Grand National Meet in Boston, MA it won a 2nd place.
6.1991: The next Cadillac Grand National I went to was in Cincinnati, OH and the Cadillac got a 1st place in its class.
7.1993-1996 :Moved to the Boston area and got a 3rd place at the 1991 Cadillac Grand National in Albany, NY.
8.1996: This car was featured on the cover of the Self-Starter (National Cadillac –LaSalle Club Magazine). Picture of magazine cover is available. 
9.1996-2000: Moved to Columbia, SC and had the engine totally re-built in 1997. All the receipts are available and will be provided. The engine was removed and just about everything, but the block , was replaced. Mileage at this time was about 32,500.
10.2001-2014: Moved to the Charleston, SC area (Kiawah Island) and have continued to perform regular maintenance. Car has been shown at several local high-end , concours meets.

Over the years this 47 year old classic has received lots of premier maintenance. I have always tried to keep it “original” and never put anything on or in the vehicle that didn't come from the factory. When possible, only GM parts are used. If it needed something, we never waited till it got bad, we just fixed it. The Caddy was never in an accident in 47 years, so only items that wore out or maintenance items were fixed. The engine compartment has recently been professionally detailed, and it shows real nice.  This car always starts even after months of sitting in the air conditioned garage. It has a very clean under-body with only normal light road dirt. Numbers match. Transmission is very smooth. It comes with a vinyl top cover (and storage bag) for  covering the convertible top when it's down and it has the original jack, tools and spare tire. The following is a list of the major things done to the car:
Professional off body re-painting and re-chroming of many items (1988-89)
Complete Engine re-build (1996-7)
Rear springs and four shocks (1999)
New Carpet (1989)
New engine fan (2012)
Latest set of New tires ( 2012)
Latest New battery (2014)
Re-balance drive shaft (1999)
New brakes (2011)
New radiator (2012)
New gas tank (1997)
New muffler/tail pipe (2009)
New exhaust manifolds (1997)
New Front suspension/ tie rods, ball joints, idler arms,control arms (2001)
Replaced Weather stripping (doors, roof rail, trunk, body mounts, and hood bumpers) (2001)
New original factory type Convertible top with glass window (2004)
New A/C system -evaporator, dash control unit , blower motor and compressor (2009)
Windshield washer motor (2001)
Master cylinder (2009)
Power brake booster (2009)
Heater core (2009)
New window regulator and electric motor in drivers side door (2014)
New front seat belts (1999)
All belts, hoses and fluids changed regularly.

I would consider this a really nice #2 condition car. It is driven and not trailered.  Current mileage of 52,056 reflects only about 1100 miles per year. I have many spare parts, Cadillac body and service manuals, as well as other Cadillac items that will go with the car, as well as pretty much all the maintenance records and prior registrations/titles to document the mileage. This car enjoys road trips, swap meets, drive-ins, car shows, and just cruising around town to get admiring glances. I even have the official factory build sheet showing the options on the car, the date it was built and other info.

I always get questions like these.  Here are the answers. If you have more, please ask.
The glass is perfect,the body is laser straight, there is no rust, there are no water leaks and yes, the convertible top is correct (a glass window, not plastic). Top mechanism is original and still works fine. Dash has no cracks. Body panels fit as close to perfect as they can. Yes, it even has the small tiny chrome spear on the front license frame (most cars have lost this.....very rare).

Since I said it is not perfect, here are just a few smaller items that I have not gotten to yet:

1. The clock has stopped working. I have a replacement which I will give to the new owner.
2. The A/C will need a re-charge....went out on last trip to Jacksonville.
3. The floor mounts of the power front seat need to be tightened. (It has a slight rocking back and forth)
4. Original AM/FM Radio works fine, but sometimes the station dial sticks when you move it to change stations. Buttons work fine and automatic antenna works as it should. Rear speaker sometimes shuts off (must be loose wire).
5. I will supply a new rear taillight chrome bezel to replace the one on the car that has a few scratches.
6. Edge of drivers seat has some small wear on piping.

You can drive it anywhere or have it shipped. I just did a round trip to Jacksonville, Florida (about 500 miles) without any issues.(except the a/c stopped on the last 50 miles!) . Engine always runs cool, never overheats. Cruises at 75 for hours with hardly any effort. The 429 CI engine that puts out 340 HP does the trick and , surprisingly, the gas mileage was about 17 MPG. I will be happy to work with your shipper. I have a perfect eBay rating. Best of luck bidding.

This dream home theater and office happens to be in a Cadillac Escalade [w/video]

Fri, Dec 19 2014

Need to take a ride cross country in the lap of luxury while still getting some work done? Short of a tour bus, the Concept One Curve from Lexani Motorcars might be one of the most comfy options imaginable. Lexani is usually known for creating opulent armored vehicles, but for the Concept One Curve it focuses on converting a 2015 Cadillac Escalade into a place for work or play. The company strips out the standard passenger compartment to install a higher ceiling with LED lighting, two leather-upholstered power captain's chairs and jump seats. However, the real highlight is a 48-inch curved 4K television mounted against the driver's partition. Don't worry about missing your favorite shows because there's a TracVision Satellite, too. The driver gets a re-covered seat of their own up front. If business needs to get done, the vehicle also includes a Mac Mini computer, tables stowed in the seats and connections for video conferencing. Of course, if you're riding in something this lavish, security might be a concern too. In addition to the window shades, the Concept One Curve features cameras to know what's going on outside. A touchscreen management system lets occupants control the whole setup from the luxurious chairs. Lexani claims that if all of this somehow isn't enough for a buyer, it offers even more options to fit their needs. Scroll down to watch a video tour and read more about this rolling home theater. {C} Lexani Concept One Curve Lexani Motorcars, a boutique luxury conversion company receiving vast international praise, has produced the Concept One Curve - the world's first 2015 Escalade with a built-in 48" 4K Technology Curved Smart TV. Lexani Motorcars is constantly pushing the boundaries of possibility for luxury transportation in everyday vehicles. The Curve is a revisited version of their latest model, the Concept One, with a television upgrade and electronic rear curtains; it is unmatched in its ability to be a premier theater one minute and a five-star mobile office the next. The curved smart TV-which rests on a proprietary electronic partition-is indeed impressive, but it is just one of the numerous amenities this discreet masterpiece boasts.

GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns

Thu, May 15 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.

Cadillac teases camo'd ELR ahead of Detroit debut

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

With the 2014 Cadillac ELR being introduced next week at the Detroit Auto Show, General Motors has revealed another picture of its luxury range extended electric vehicle. Last month, we saw a dark, teaser photo showing some of the body detail for the electric coupe, but this recent photo shows the Cadillac in full camouflage testing in California back in September.
If this car looks familiar, it's because our spy shooters got a jump on GM by catching the car in action and providing pictures from all angles. There are still no official details for the ELR yet aside from the fact that it will share the Voltec system with the Chevrolet Volt, but we'll finally see the car unveiled in Detroit a week from today.
